Abstract
This investigation adopts an historical approach to pollen recruitment in a lowland English lake. The history of woodland and land-use has been reconstructed for the past 200 years from documentary sources and from the lake sediment pollen record. Comparison of these data sets are used to establish the ‘effective’ pollen catchment of the lake and to investigate how well these support predictive models of pollen input to lakes.
